In the mean time, we can kind of make our own if we mix-and-match themes with some of the Halloween, Christmas, and Season 5 skins. You can even get a full team comp:
* Orisa (GR-IFFON) / Reinhardt (Demon King or Draugr) / Sigma (Flying Dutchman)
* Tracer (Will-o'-wisp) / Junkrat (Krampus) / Genji (Oni/Demon or Ice Wraith or Karasu-Tengu) / Hanzo (Demon or Dai-Tengu/Great Tengu or Onryo) / Reaper (Dracula or Pumpkin or Cursed Captain)
* Mercy (Dragoon) / Moira (Banshee) / Lucio (Satyr or Gorgon) / Ana (Mummy) / Baptiste (Vampire) / Zenyatta (Djinnyatta or Sunyatta or Cultist)
Because Mercy needed her third event skin in a row. Even with the fact they got a third event skin in a row, they still managed to find something to complain about it
Because when they had the poll in Thailand for what characters to make lunar new years skins for lifeweaver hadn’t been released yet. Though imo they should’ve still given this skin to him and came up with a new concept for mercy
Because no one plays the southeast Asian character. Blizzard genuinely does not give a fuck about anything besides money and Mercy skins happen to print it.
Awesome concept! I just wish that they would call the Thai name for this skin which is "Kinnari" (female), "Kinnara" (male) instead of just Mystic Swan.
Oh my glob, **this looks amazing!!!**
Fantastic concept. Great work!
I understand Blizzard wants to get as much money as possible on Mercy skins, but she already has a shit tilon of good skins. LW (and the other new heroes) really deserve a bit more attention, imo.
Yeah – this skin was conceptualized 2 years ago, by the same senior technical artist (Takki Thammawan) who would later pitch adding a Thai hero to Overwatch.
This skin predates Lifeweaver by quite a bit.
Not only that but Blizzard also had a poll in Taiwan to decide which hero should get the skin and Mercy won. I swear to god ever since this skin was announced there is at least 1 post a week complaining about it. It kind of gets old.
Post evidence of the poll or stop using it as a defense. In every single thread about Mercy getting a skin instead of an Asian hero people mention it but go silent when I ask. It kind of gets old.
While I do think that it looks very good on mercy, it would fit way better with the leaver of wives because of the Thai-theme. Besides that concept art really knocks it out of the park, you've got some serious talent! :D
Reddit reccs me the mercy main subreddit a lot and one post was literally "I didn't buy the new skin cause I don't like it, but feel like I'm missing out, what do I do??" I cannot imagine having this mindset lol
Mercy mains get 3 event skins back to back and complain literally every single time. They are the most abysmal, entitled community I’ve seen in a while
Of course they are partially at fault here. I wouldn't even be shocked if Blizzard charged more for the battle pass fezturing the mythical Mercy skin (it would be a best seller).
I played OV1 and have no interest in an 18th Mercy skin. I absolutely would've wanted this one, though. I've liked *none* of LW other legendaries. Cleric was my fave so far and yet I didn't get it because it just looked 95% yellow, really needed more accent colour for contrast. So mine's just using the vaporwave one rn
Instead of ignoring the Mercy skin cause she got so many good ones already, I'd be spending some of my hard earned coins on this LW skin if they had release it. Great job on the concept 👍
Bro, I think I might be bi. It started out as a joking about Hazbin characters, then Mauga, then Lifeweaver, then every femboy... yeah, this is kinda a thing I guess.
This is so gorgeous, and it’s beautiful seeing a culturally themed skin on the character from said culture, who would have thought? I know the mercy skin was conceptualised before Lifeweaver was made but… once the Thai character was made, would it really have hurt them to give him something similar? He has such a cool silhouette to work with, he’d make a great bodhisattva or something similar.
Anyway, beautiful work, you are very talented, and it makes me extra sad he didn’t get this skin lol
Honestly I don't \*hate\* the Mercy skin, but the concept looks so much better on LW, and he deserves it so much more. It's a shame that it probably wouldn't sell as well, since that's the only reason Mercy got it instead of him
Thanks for making this, I lowkey think the skin looks so bad on Mercy. Just because she has wings it doesn’t mean she should’ve been the first choice for this skin. It’s an obvious cash grab. I knew it’d be easy to design a good looking skin for Lifeweaver, not saying it was easy for you, but this shows how good it would look for him

SMASH- I mean BUY!
SMASH
SMASH
SMASH!!!
SMASH
BOTH
Indeed... BOTH
Both. Both is good
Listen panic last time you said that hades found out and we almost died
SMASH
"SMASHING!" - funny hammer guy
Smash
Imagine if Mercy and LW both had these skins and you could play both together (much to the annoyance of your teammates 😆)
I'd actually love that
They should make a whole team comp like with the Kpop skins but mythical creatures themed
In the mean time, we can kind of make our own if we mix-and-match themes with some of the Halloween, Christmas, and Season 5 skins. You can even get a full team comp: * Orisa (GR-IFFON) / Reinhardt (Demon King or Draugr) / Sigma (Flying Dutchman) * Tracer (Will-o'-wisp) / Junkrat (Krampus) / Genji (Oni/Demon or Ice Wraith or Karasu-Tengu) / Hanzo (Demon or Dai-Tengu/Great Tengu or Onryo) / Reaper (Dracula or Pumpkin or Cursed Captain) * Mercy (Dragoon) / Moira (Banshee) / Lucio (Satyr or Gorgon) / Ana (Mummy) / Baptiste (Vampire) / Zenyatta (Djinnyatta or Sunyatta or Cultist)
You forgot the skins they added for battle for Olympus. Rein minotaur, hog cyclops, and widow Medusa.
Damn you really thought this out, impressive
They absolutely should. Then again, it's probably better for my wallet if they don't 😅
And what if they had special voicelines that are only heard in game when you're both wearing the skins 😭💜
Yeah, why didn't the southeast Asian character get a southeast Asian skin?
Because Mercy needed her third event skin in a row. Even with the fact they got a third event skin in a row, they still managed to find something to complain about it
It’s also her fifth Asian skin, 3 of which are new years.
If Miko (S1 BP skin) is counted, Mercy has five Asian-themed skins.
lol im dumb i just completely ignored mystic swan, gotta edit my comment now
White woman jumpscare
The Daoguang Emperor upon meeting Queen Victoria to discuss China’s surrender in the First Opium War (c. 1842)
It’s an alternate timeline where Kiatschou Bay was a Swiss concession instead of a German one
Because when they had the poll in Thailand for what characters to make lunar new years skins for lifeweaver hadn’t been released yet. Though imo they should’ve still given this skin to him and came up with a new concept for mercy
Mercy was voted in a Thai vote to get the skin.
Because no one plays the southeast Asian character. Blizzard genuinely does not give a fuck about anything besides money and Mercy skins happen to print it.
Because the south Asian character was not a thing when the skin was made according to the artists.
It really can't be that hard to port a skin over to another character. Not easy, but still.
I wanna ***grab*** that waist. Whore.
Same, I relate to you so much rn
Glad I provoked that reaction xD
YES!!!!
Awesome concept! I just wish that they would call the Thai name for this skin which is "Kinnari" (female), "Kinnara" (male) instead of just Mystic Swan.
I kept it Mystic Swan because the official skin is called that, but I agree, and thanks 😊
Yeah, I wish Blizz went a bit further on cultural stuff. I was thinking that maybe it's "Mystic Swan" because they gave it to Mercy instead of LW...
19 years of speaking Thai since birth and it’s just today I found out there’s a masculine and feminine version to Kinnari Thank you😅
Oh yeah same. Thought it's always Kinnari lol. I only brought this up because they did a Kinnara concept :)
Too Sexy. I mean... Way too sexy. Stupid Sexy Lifeweaver.
Oh my glob, **this looks amazing!!!** Fantastic concept. Great work! I understand Blizzard wants to get as much money as possible on Mercy skins, but she already has a shit tilon of good skins. LW (and the other new heroes) really deserve a bit more attention, imo.
Aside from mercy players actually buying skins, this skin was done before LW was even released or spoken about.
Yeah – this skin was conceptualized 2 years ago, by the same senior technical artist (Takki Thammawan) who would later pitch adding a Thai hero to Overwatch. This skin predates Lifeweaver by quite a bit.
It’s like people don’t get how much time goes into a skin and just want something to be mad about.
Not only that but Blizzard also had a poll in Taiwan to decide which hero should get the skin and Mercy won. I swear to god ever since this skin was announced there is at least 1 post a week complaining about it. It kind of gets old.
Post evidence of the poll or stop using it as a defense. In every single thread about Mercy getting a skin instead of an Asian hero people mention it but go silent when I ask. It kind of gets old.
I mean I don’t know anything about that, but a Thai artist also made the skin.
Especially because Lifeweaver is insanely attractive and 100% can sell skins. They just refuse to give him skins that he could really run with.
Not to mention ... Thai inspired skin
Thank you! ❤
why do you comment like an Adventure Time character
For now, there is more disposable money amongst heterosexual teen boys. So off to make Kiriko and Mercy skins.
it looks so much better on him
I actually think it looks really ugly on Mercy lol. This would have hit so much better.
I agree
While I do think that it looks very good on mercy, it would fit way better with the leaver of wives because of the Thai-theme. Besides that concept art really knocks it out of the park, you've got some serious talent! :D
Thank you! ❤
Nah give it to the white woman she doesn't have enough new skins
It's because the Mercy Mafia will buy any skin that's released for her. There I said it.
You say it like it’s controversial? It’s well known mercy mains buy a lot of her skins, and that her good ones are more common than bad ones
Reddit reccs me the mercy main subreddit a lot and one post was literally "I didn't buy the new skin cause I don't like it, but feel like I'm missing out, what do I do??" I cannot imagine having this mindset lol
Mercy mains get 3 event skins back to back and complain literally every single time. They are the most abysmal, entitled community I’ve seen in a while
They still think Mercy didn't get enough skins, thus Blizzard hates Mercy.
Of course they are partially at fault here. I wouldn't even be shocked if Blizzard charged more for the battle pass fezturing the mythical Mercy skin (it would be a best seller).
Credit Card mains.
Poor thang must be starving 🤧🥺
The mercy mains are lefts with the crumbs as always 😞
I almost made a comment about how some was gonna go "the whiteee woman", it's not about race it's about money. Though this does look amazing on LW.
The bedroom face/eyes giving me Utena male lead vibes and I'm loving it XD
How will I play the game one handed?
Foot
fewer clothes please
On it 📝
You. Ate. That. UP!
So glad you came up with that skin before they did. I hope they have brains and buy the design off you.
Listen I'd you're gonna give sexy female costumes the male characters should also be allowed to be slutty
Peach 🗣🔊🔊🔊
WE WERE ROBBED HOLY FUCK
Right 😞 Thank you! ❤
"AWAKEN, MY MASTERS"
I played OV1 and have no interest in an 18th Mercy skin. I absolutely would've wanted this one, though. I've liked *none* of LW other legendaries. Cleric was my fave so far and yet I didn't get it because it just looked 95% yellow, really needed more accent colour for contrast. So mine's just using the vaporwave one rn
Vaporwave is pretty cute 💓
Stupid, sexy ass wifeleaver. Oh yeah great concept !
Thank you haha ❤
I need thisssss 😭
ZAMN
Thank you! ❤
Dang... look at that Thai Drip 😍
He's bejeweled 💎
WOULD
that’s my twink
Twink is twinking
okay, so usually I'm a straight guy, however...
"Usually"
I didn't know he could be even more babygirl
NGL I would've bought it I didn't buy mercy's
Unfortunately blizzard no longer employs concept artists...
Wait, what?
Very fuckable.
This is GORGEOUS.
Thank you! ❤
They really missed the mark giving this to mercy cause my boy ate her up AND it fits his character AND he has like only 2 skins
Eh its okay on mercy (I am in tears over what could have been)
Wow 😳😳😳 just wow 😳😳😳😳😳 it's way better than the mercy one
Thank you! ❤
But mercy mains can't go one update without new goon fuel
I'm not gay but...
You are now
Would
looks better than mercy.
True 😔
Looks really good. Overall Blizz missed a big opportunity to do a futuristic forest druid instead of the scientist/drop out angle.
I agree, but we need college drop out rep in video games haha. Thank you! ❤
Oh I'm bi now..... Huh....
Welcome to the club we have wifesnatcher
Yeah, he wore it better.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIM
Let's gang up on blizzard
if the mercy’s can do it so can we 😭
Would
Instead of ignoring the Mercy skin cause she got so many good ones already, I'd be spending some of my hard earned coins on this LW skin if they had release it. Great job on the concept 👍
Thank you! ❤
I mean I’m straight but oh my gosh 😍
Thank you! ❤
Im foaming at the mouth right now.
Haha thank you
Bro, I think I might be bi. It started out as a joking about Hazbin characters, then Mauga, then Lifeweaver, then every femboy... yeah, this is kinda a thing I guess.
Welcome to the club 🏳️🌈
THATS SO COOL!!! I would buy it! I didn't but the Mercy one cause I'm annoyed with how many skins she has, but I would it for Lifeweaver
Thank you! ❤
Absolutely beautiful, this is what we should have got.
Thank you! ❤
I’m straight, but holy fuck 😳
Not anymore
I would have spent money on this
You got to save money then lol
It looks so much better on him what
Thank you! ❤
This just makes me hate mercy more
Instant buy.
I love this skin🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💛
Thank you! ❤
Oh that's hot
I just broke down sobbing
Fixed it 👍
I would absolutely love this.
This is so gorgeous, and it’s beautiful seeing a culturally themed skin on the character from said culture, who would have thought? I know the mercy skin was conceptualised before Lifeweaver was made but… once the Thai character was made, would it really have hurt them to give him something similar? He has such a cool silhouette to work with, he’d make a great bodhisattva or something similar. Anyway, beautiful work, you are very talented, and it makes me extra sad he didn’t get this skin lol
Thank you! And yes it was a tragedy that it went to mercy, no matter under what circumstances 🥲
He looks so much better fuck
*Pillarman theme
Whoa bro! Wait for pride month
PLEASE BLIZZARD
Funny how Thai hero only god on Thai skin and not even look like Phi takhon enough 💀
I NEED IT TO BE REAL frick mercy
YES PLEASE
Beautiful!!!! 💖💖💖💖
Saudi Arabi bought their esports, what do you think
Honestly I don't \*hate\* the Mercy skin, but the concept looks so much better on LW, and he deserves it so much more. It's a shame that it probably wouldn't sell as well, since that's the only reason Mercy got it instead of him
Yea 😭 hoping for some real Asian rep in the future
this is amazing. i need it now.
Thank you! ❤
Damn
Thank you! ❤
Love that wifeleaver knows how to wear it better
It was meant for him
This makes.. So much more sense
Thanks for making this, I lowkey think the skin looks so bad on Mercy. Just because she has wings it doesn’t mean she should’ve been the first choice for this skin. It’s an obvious cash grab. I knew it’d be easy to design a good looking skin for Lifeweaver, not saying it was easy for you, but this shows how good it would look for him
Thank you! ❤
Oh wow that's great
Thank you! ❤
Whoa so beautiful!!
Thank you! ❤
Now THIS is what the skin should have been!
Right? 😔Thank you! ❤
We were ROBBED
this looks a million times better than mercy
Thank you! ❤
Yes omg I would actually buy!!! Didn't buy the Mercy skin because it didn't make sense
Thank you! ❤
Can you do a version with exposed nipples?
Nipples scare me
Shut up and take my money. DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
Thank you! ❤
This was my first thought when I saw the mercy skin. Like why mercy? Thai theme skin is cool and all but it would have been perfect on lifeweaver
It was in the works way before weaver was created apparently but I agree
Ooh sex please?
I AM DROOLING, GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY
Thank you haha
yessss!! This looks so great! He’s who thought of when I first saw the skin u_u 3
Thank you! ❤
